Chapter 1633: Planning the Empire

Zhang Su didn't know what the poisonous envoy was thinking, but Zhang Su, who had recently wiped out Yizhou and even captured Yongchang County, had become completely wilted.

After all, creatures like counselors will only have so much fighting power if they stay lazily at home all day long, but if they are sent to a war, fight endlessly, and finally achieve an impossible task, they themselves will change.

.

The simplest way to put it is that the professional instincts of these guys will suddenly awaken. For example, digging holes to harm individuals or something like that is a very simple matter for these guys.

"Oh, the country is thousands of miles away." Zhang Su said while plucking his ears, as if he had accidentally heard wrongly. The kneeling Envoy of Body Poison was so frightened that his head was buried between his legs.

"I beg you, Your Majesty, to save our country." The poisonous envoy said shiveringly. Zhang Su's words about the country's vast territory almost caused his heart to stop.

"Oh, I heard that you and Guishang are fighting." Zhang Su said with a look of sadness, as if he was not involved in this matter at all. In fact, after Yongchang County was defeated, the Yizhou group

I have already received information from Nanman about the nearby situation.

Generally speaking, as Zhang Su said at the beginning, some of the Nanman people are their own people, and they are hard-core people. For example, they are the people of the Thirteenth Hole represented by Yinkengdong. These are hard-core people and civilized people.

To a very high degree.

Moreover, Zhang Su's goal was very clear from the beginning, which was to recover the entire southern Yizhou, so other insignificant matters could be discussed. In addition, he had a very clear mind, so he would never treat his own people badly.

The Southern Barbarians who followed Zhang Su had taken great advantages in the past few months, so many Southern Barbarians were impressed by the courage of Zhang Su and others, and led their troops to the battlefield to help the Yizhou Army pacify Yongchang County.

.

This is also an important reason why Zhang Renyanyan and others were able to successfully pacify the entire southern Yizhou in a few months in a place they were unfamiliar with and relied on a map.

It’s no problem for the barbarians to rule the barbarians. We can exchange it with you for stable grain prices. You won’t have to farm or grab grains in the future. For the sake of your great help this time, you will have to buy grains in the future.

At that time, the price of food was only 90%.

In short, we rely on this method, and we also specially gave the Barbarian King of Thirteenth Cave a more favorable price. As our earliest ally, of course we must enjoy the most preferential conditions. When you buy food less than a certain range, you only need half price.

, by the way, if you want to leave the mountains and settle down, we will warmly welcome you and give each of you fifty acres as a gift.

Anyway, the eloquence of the civil servants in Yizhou is not a joke. In addition, Zhang Su, the middleman, has a high position in Yizhou, is strong, and has a clear mind. He is also using Guan Zhong's method of buying deer and Le Yi to unite Qi, so the barbarians only think that

I was having a good day, but I had no idea that I had been put in a trap by these ruthless officials in Yizhou.

Of course, Zhang Su and others do not intend to turn against each other one day. Anyway, if this system is implemented for up to five years, these barbarians who are allies will become their own people. There is no point in being cruel. Becoming their own people will increase the number of people.

population, it would be great to strengthen governance.

Besides, barbarians are warlike. Although their organizational skills are average, their physical fitness is good. Especially those barbarians wearing vine armor from the Ugo Kingdom are really good at fighting.

As long as they are well fed, each person is given a low-quality mace, and with their height of 1.8 meters, and the armor and physical fitness to withstand most attacks, they will have no problem defeating most of the legions.

As for Fire Attack, do you think Zhang Su, Zhang Song, Cheng Ji, Qin Mi, Wang Lei, and Huang Quan are stupid? How could they give you such an opportunity?

Moreover, the barbarians of the Ugo Kingdom, from the leading king to the soldiers below, may have eaten too much snake venom and damaged their brains. No one in their ranks has a normal mind.

The most obvious point is that the Ugo Kingdom was against Zhang Ren and others in the beginning. This cannot be helped because the Ugo Kingdom was previously a rebellious barbarian.

As a result, because the leader of the Ugo Kingdom was really good at fighting, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, E Huan, and Meng Huo, who was only in his twenties, failed to win any of the four. At most, they took advantage.

All four of them are internal Qi leaving the body.

Although that guy obviously has no internal energy, his body is too strong. If it weren't for his poor fighting skills and his almost copper-skinned and iron-like defense, he probably wouldn't be able to gain any advantage in a four-on-one fight.

In addition, the fighting ability of the barbarians wearing rattan armor was not bad. The Yizhou army suffered a big loss when they attacked there. Zhang Song and Huang Quan were so angry that they wanted to set fire to these bastards and burn them to death. In the end, Meng

Go and persuade the opponent easily.

Later, after they got acquainted with each other, the Yizhou civil and military officials realized that this guy named Wu Tu Gu was a confused and mentally retarded person. Others fought against Yizhou civil and military forces to compete for territory. He fought against Yizhou civil and military officials because everyone else was fighting, so he followed suit.

Fight, after all, if you fight with the alliance, you can eat from the public family. Anyway, Ugo country cannot afford to support so many barbarians.

The reason why he was conquered was that the refined rice in Yizhou was really good, and the Shu brocade was really comfortable to wear. Oh, and one more thing, Meng Huo was a good man.

Anyway, for these guys with brain problems, the reasons are not important. Who are you hanging out with? Why not hang out with the big guys who have money to eat?

Therefore, Wu Tu Gu became the vanguard of Yizhou. For civil servants, there is actually a need for such generals who have brain problems but are very capable of fighting and easy to master.

Later, as the general trend turned, they were basically crushing the map. The Southern Barbarians who were instigated by Zhang Su and others were shot to death one by one. Those who were not shot to death gradually became convinced by Zhang Su during this battle.

With the courage of others.

Of course, in Zhang Song's opinion, they were more likely to follow Yizhou to have food. The further south these barbarians went, the less they knew how to farm. Even the land was uneven, which was simply a shame for mankind.

Therefore, it became easier to conquer as time went by. Finally, Zhang Song and others discovered that they had actually conquered Yongchang County, but the map and other information were already at this time. How could it be that we had conquered other countries?

The map must be wrong.

What's the saying? By the way, the empire's territory is where your feet are, and the empire's frontier is where your spear is heading. Why do you say that we have fought in other countries? It's obviously because the map is wrong, right?

And even if the map is correct, it is still the territory that the barbarians naturalized in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, after defeating Yongchang County, Zhang Song and others are still fighting south, west, and east. Anyway, they are not planning to go back this year. If the war continues, foreign military orders will be violated. Liu Zhang cannot scold them even if he wants to.

arrive.

But it would be really tragic if he finished the battle of Yongchang County and the task of pacifying southern Yizhou and then returned. Zhang Song and others knew on their knees that Liu Zhang was still angry because he could not defeat the Xiongnu, so he should wait until the battle was over.

Let's talk about it after Manzi reconsiders the map.

In short, after defeating Yongchang County and entering Myanmar, Zhang Song and others began to investigate while looking for suitable reasons. Anyway, all the civil and military officials at the top of Yizhou were involved in this incident. They relied on deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth.

Yizhou's grain reserves for several years were all taken away.

Fortunately, there is so much food in stock, otherwise the Yizhou army would have been out of food when they attacked Burma. You must know that from Liu Yan becoming the state herdsman, to Liu Zhang coming to power, and now, the food and grass accumulated by Yizhou is not a problem.

Just for fun.

And with just such an attack, Zhang Song and others basically emptied the treasury. It is precisely because of this huge amount of food that they can attack all the way to Myanmar. Moreover, the military strength is getting stronger and stronger, and of course the food consumption is also increasing.

.

After all, there are always some barbarians who come to help in the name of friendly forces. For such people, they can bring their own weapons and equipment, but they cannot be conceited about food. Therefore, Wang Lei, who is in charge of logistics, initially held the idea of ​​"eating openly, just treat it as a win-win"

As a result, the army grew bigger and bigger. Wasn't the barbarian rebellion just for food?

The so-called oppression is basically a matter of the upper class. Lack of enough food is the big problem. Therefore, many barbarians who had followed the rebellion before directly switched sides and followed the Yizhou Army to fight other barbarians. Who are they fighting anyway? Why?

I can't find a better backer.

This nonsense idea caused the strength of the Yizhou Army to skyrocket, and even Wang Lei had no choice but to recruit only excellent barbarian troops. There was no shortage of food in Yizhou, but it was not brought by the strong wind. That ghost in the south of Yizhou

In this place, it’s strange that the barbarians don’t have millions.

As I said before, the difference in combat effectiveness between the Nanman and Han people is not about personal quality or belief, but entirely about organizational strength. Therefore, Wang Lei’s method could not defeat too many people. As a result, it rolled all the way to Myanmar, and the Yizhou Army and

The barbarian army totaled 80,000 people.

Apart from poor military formation planning, these 80,000 people have good combat effectiveness. Especially the headquarters of Wu Tu Gu and King Mulu, who have no problem resisting the elites of the Han army. Coupled with Meng Huo's Thirteenth Cave elite, this

Combat effectiveness can still be guaranteed.

Coupled with the intelligence of Zhang Song and Huang Quan, as well as five masters with internal Qi separation level, this army is not weak at all to be honest. This is also the reason why Zhang Ren and others knew how to defeat the country after they entered Myanmar.

, and still have the confidence to continue to fight.

After all, you will be scolded when you go back. Every inch of land you gain outside is a real achievement in expanding your territory. It will be bragging rights for future generations when you get old.

However, after reaching here, the civil and military forces of Yizhou actually understood the situation. There is indeed no powerful country nearby, but it is quite far from Yizhou. Once defeated, it will be a disastrous defeat.

After all, this supply trip is too far. Even if we buy cement from Liu Bei to build the road, it will take three months to transport the grain from Yizhou. If someone tampered with the grain and grass, then

It is really possible to die without a burial place.

Now that he heard that the Baicheng Dynasty, that is, Shen Du, needed his help, Zhang Su's bad attitude instantly turned upside down. The area he occupied now was not very suitable for farming, and no matter where he got the information, it seemed that Shen Du was

A very wealthy place.

Then graft the Yizhou Army onto Shendu, just like Captain Wuji grafted himself onto the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, and rely on absorbing the money and food economy of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms to support his army, and then rely on this method

The growing military power suppressed the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

After this idea came up, Zhang Su couldn't stop thinking about it. The Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions claimed to be independent countries, but in fact, everyone knew what was going on when the Han Dynasty was strong, and Shendu and the Western Regions

Thirty-six are very similar.

Compared with the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, which are still considered national forces, Shendu can actually only be said to be an alliance of a bunch of tribes. In this environment, it is not a problem at all to graft tens of thousands of troops to it and absorb the nutrients of Shendu.

.

I had never thought about this aspect before. Isn’t it because the Han Dynasty wanted to lose face? When Wuji Colonel was grafted onto the head of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, wasn’t it precisely because the Huns wanted to deal with these guys? Now the situation with Shendu is so similar.

, but in the country of Kushan, Zhang Su was a little hesitant.

After all, no matter how bad the water is, you still need to refer to your own combat effectiveness. You can't eat meat and still get beaten. Wouldn't that be too cost-effective?

"It's not that we are unwilling to help the Baicheng Dynasty, it's just that I am not the commander of this army. I need to discuss it with the generals." Zhang Su said after hesitating for a moment.

In fact, Zhang Su has already made a decision. As the saying goes, wealth is gained through danger. If you don't fight hard, if Guishuang really kills the poison in your body, wouldn't it be troublesome?

Whether you are poisoned or not is not important to the Han Dynasty. What is important is that if you are poisoned and you die, don't dig a hole for the Han Dynasty. How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed? There is a very real understanding in the minds of these counselors.

of.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Shendu envoy hurriedly presented a piece of jade. This thing is worthless in Shendu. After all, jade mines are everywhere in northern Myanmar. All you need to do is polish it, so the quality of the jade he sent is extremely good.

As for Zhang Su, there was a flash of greed.

After restraining his greed, Zhang Su glanced at Shendu's envoy with clear eyes, and took out these treasures with just a bribe. He became more and more interested in Shendu and Kushan.

After sending away the poisonous envoys, Zhang Su ordered people to beat the drums and raise the tent. Soon the civil and military ministers of Yizhou, as well as the barbarian-style Wu Tu Gu, King Mulu, Meng Huo and others appeared.

To be honest, Wu Tu Gu was not interested in the discussion at all. His life was to kill, kill and eat. However, Zhang Su always included Wu Tu Gu in order to show respect. This made Meng Huo like him

The intelligent barbarian clearly felt the respect and respected him more and more.

But every time when there was a discussion, Meng Huo saw Wu Tu Gu eating there with his head buried in the food, and he was really confused. Well, the other party would eat at his table again.

The face of a barbarian, forget it. Meng Huo handed the food on the table to Wu Tu Gu. Looking at the other man’s fool-like smile, he felt extremely tired. If it weren’t for the fact that you support me as the barbarian king, and that he is mentally ill and

Because you are very good at fighting, I would have kicked you out a long time ago.

"Come here, bring General Wu a bushel of polished rice and ten kilograms of cooked meat." Zhang Su said to the guard expressionlessly, and couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart, "If it weren't for the fact that you are stupid and can fight well,

I will definitely throw you out of the camp, you have simply lowered our style.]
